He used the rat's blood to make his wrist and hand more slippery and attract other rats to chew his bindings. just watched the scene

Lance Henriksen, the "main dude", has been in one of the best tv shows - millenium as well as in Aliens and many other big hits as well as many small ones. He is a very active actor that likes horror.

I like to add, that when I saw this movie on a time-copy tape, there was a scene during the fight near the pendulum, where the captain of the guards, while wrestling with the hero, is pushed onto the coming pendulum and is sliced vertically in half. On subsequent tapes and dvd's, this scene is missing. What remains is when the hat falls on the ground into two pieces with blood on them. I remember this scene quite vividly.

I hope it was fake.

Are you retarded or something?

reply

No. Are you?

"There is no escape, John!"

Okay, you're a 'tard. I'm going to have to spell it all out. Argh!

Films never use live animals in scenes in which they get killed because the animal rights people will throw a fit if they did.

Simple enough for you to understand, Corky?

I'm not the "tard" here cuz I don't resort to insults.

"There is no escape, John!"

reply

I resort to insults because people who ask stupid questions ought to know better and deserve to be insulted.

It's fun to have a hobby.

I don't have to take this crap from you anymore. You're ignored.
And for your information, there is a history of on-screen real killings of animals in movies such as Friday the 13th (1980) and Cannibal Holocaust. In fact, John C. Reilly reportedly walked off the set of Manderlay (2005) because they planned to kill a live donkey on-screen for real.
